Code No. C1381: G sensor (output error, seizure)
Code No. C1382: G sensor stuck on



caution
  • If there is any problem in the CAN bus lines, an incorrect diagnosis code may be set. Prior to this diagnosis, diagnose the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnostics Table ).
  • Whenever ECU is replaced, ensure that the CAN bus lines are normal.

OPERATION


The G sensor is incorporated in the hydraulic unit, and output the longitudinal acceleration of the vehicles.

DIAGNOSIS CODE SET CONDITIONS


ABS-ECU monitors the G sensor output signal, and when an abnormality is present in the signal from the G sensor, the ECU determines that the trouble occurs and sets the diagnosis code.

PROBABLE CAUSES


Current trouble
Past trouble
note When the vehicle is driven under special conditions, such as driving on a rough road, this diagnosis code will be set.

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE


STEP 1. M.U.T.-III CAN bus diagnosis


Use M.U.T.-III to diagnose the CAN bus lines.

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 3.
Repair the CAN bus lines (Refer to GROUP 54C - CAN Bus Diagnosis Table ). On completion, go to Step 2.

STEP 2. Diagnosis code recheck after resetting CAN bus lines


(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Erase the diagnosis code.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5)Start the engine.
(6)Drive the vehicle at the speed exceeds 10 km/h.
(7)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(8)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1381 or C1382 set?

Go to Step 3.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions).

STEP 3. M.U.T.-III data list


Check the following service data.

  • Item No. 07: Longitudinal G sensor (Raw value)

Q. Is the check result normal?

Go to Step 4.
Replace the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ABS-ECU). Then go to Step 5.

STEP 4. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Erase the diagnosis code.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5)Start the engine.
(6)Drive the vehicle at the speed exceeds 10 km/h.
(7)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(8)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1381 or C1382 set?

Replace the hydraulic unit assembly (integrated with ABS-ECU). Then go to Step 5.
Intermittent malfunction (Refer to GROUP 00 - How to Cope with Intermittent Malfunctions).

STEP 5. Check whether the diagnosis code is set again.


Check again if the diagnosis code is set.
(1)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(2)Erase the diagnosis code.
(3)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.
(4)Turn the ignition switch to the "ON" position.
(5)Start the engine.
(6)Drive the vehicle at the speed exceeds 10 km/h.
(7)Check if the diagnosis code is set.
(8)Turn the ignition switch to the "LOCK" (OFF) position.

Q. Is diagnosis code No. C1381 or C1382 set?

Return to Step 1.
The procedure is complete.
